"I Killed Brian Terry"

Borderland Beat

Manuel Osorio-Arellanes, one of the murderers of Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry, pled guilty to first degree murder in federal court in Tucson in exchange for prosecutors promising not to seek the death penalty.
Osorio-Arellanes, Jesus Rosario Favela-Astorga, Ivan Soto-Barraza, Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes and Lionel Portillo-Meza were charged with crimes including first degree murder, second degree murder, conspiracy to interfere with commerce by robbery, attempted interference with commerce by robbery, use and carrying a firearm during a crime of violence, assault on a federal officer and possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
Osorio-Arellanes, Jesus Rosario Favela-Astorga, Ivan Soto-Barraza, Heraclio Osorio-Arellanes and Lionel Portillo-Meza killed Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry with guns from the U.S. government’s failed gun running scandal, Fast and Furious, during a firefight with the Border Patrol agents.
Osorio-Arellanes and the others had illegally entered the United States from Mexico for the purpose of robbing drug traffickers of their contraband. In addition to the murder of Agent Terry, the five defendants assaulted Border Patrol Agents William Castano, Gabriel Fragoza and Timothy Keller, who were with Agent Terry during the firefight.
 
Operation Fast and Furious contributed to the deaths of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry and an unknown number of Mexican citizens. It also created an ongoing public safety hazard on both sides of the border. The failures happened because of conscious decisions to encourage gun dealers to sell to known traffickers and avoid interdicting those weapons or even questioning suspects, all in the hope that would lead law enforcement to cartel connections and a larger case, according to the U.S. House Oversight and Reform Committee.

  2. So why is no one from the government getting prosecuted? If u knowingly rob sumone n your buddy kills that person in most if not all states u are as guilty as pulling the trigger. So what's the difference in this case when the DEA knew those guns were to kill ppl. C'mon sumbody fukin enlighten me! - WS903

  5. This is how it's down. With no death penelty as an incintive, they all fall and plead guilty. He will spend the rest of his life in a cozy "Super Max Prison", where he can't get out for ever, continue to do business and basically look at the walls till the day he dies. This is justice for Mexico. No wonder so many take a bullet instead.

  18. @10/31-10:18PM,
    It was the ATF that let the guns walk (F&F) not the DEA...you have been enlightened!

    @11/2-7:04AM,
    The correct title of the song is "I shot the Sheriff," dumbass...but hey what can we expect from a future inmate such as yourself.

  19. " The failures happened because of conscious decisions to encourage gun dealers to sell to known traffickers..."

    This is a lie. The ATF ORDERED dealers to sell guns to narco terrorists under threat.
